Perhaps I should piggy back on Uphillklimbers report ? Oh well...
My family has participated in the Flags event for the past 3 years, working our way north on the Presidential Range.
Friday we arrived later than planned at the Broken Branch KOA after the bridge detour in Fairlee and a quick dinner at Truants. We had time for a couple IPA's with Tom and Laurie Rankin before turning in. Saturday was a 9:45 start up Crawford Path after a big breakfast at the Highland Center. My older son Grant and I headed up, followed by my wife and younger son, Ben. They would stop and visit Pierce while Grant and I continued on to Eisenhower. Silent Cal had the flag flying on Ike with a good crowd in support. Grant and I visited, consumed some of Laurie's Excellent Jerky, snapped some pics and headed back out. The other half of our clan made it out a half hour before us and we were headed back to Woodstock by 4.
Saturday night was a bit more festive, visiting with Tom and Laurie, Paradox, Una Dogger, Michael J, Adventurous and others.
A big thanks to all who participated and especially to the faithful organizers.
Never Forget !
Pictures are here. Thanks for looking.
